Chapter 239: Chapter 238_1

"Pan’er, your mom talks a lot. Don’t take it to heart. Just live your life well, got it? Your parents will head back first."

"Got it! Dad, Mom, just take it easy."

Su Lao Si is clearly a little drunk, muttering nonstop as he strides away.

Assisted by Mrs. Su-Hua, the pair walk hand in hand towards home.

After watching them disappear into the distance, until she can no longer see the faint glimmer of their torch, Su Pan’er finally turns to enter the house.

Ke’er is curled up asleep on a chair. She snickers at the sight and scoops him up to take him to his room.

Ke’er smiles even in sleep, prompting Su Pan’er to stroke his head affectionately. "You cheeky thing!" she exclaims softly. She pinches his rosy cheek before tucking him up and leaving the room.

While sleeping, Ke’er rubs his small face into the pillow, changing into a more comfortable position before slipping back into deep slumber.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yi returns just as she steps out. He is mopping the floor. Su Pan’er just says, "Sister-in-law, I can handle the rest of this."

"No need, just the floor left to clean. There’s warm water in the pot, you go have a bath first."

His response comes loud and clear, his body covered in sweat.

The twinkle in his playful eyes makes Su Pan’er glare at him before she heads into the kitchen.

The Qin family’s bathroom is located behind the house. Su Pan’er carries a large bucket of warm water there, and thoroughly cleans the half-person-high bathtub before pouring the hot water in. It takes three to four trips to fill the bathtub halfway.

She carelessly closes the door then begins undressing. She stayed overnight at the county government office, been running around during the day buying this and that; rushing to keep up. She is already exhausted.

She picks up a washcloth and slowly sinks into the hot water.

The warmth of the water spreads across her skin, causing her to narrow her eyes as she revels in the sensation.

Reaching for some water and letting it spill down her face, the small droplets spread across her forehead, trickling down her brows, nose, sliding down her cheeks, soaking her hair, stirring up a sense of coolness.

She shakes her head softly, sending water droplets splashing in all directions.

When Qin Yi, who has tidied up the house, pushes open the bathroom door and his eyes fall on the sight of her, his heart begins to pound, as if it might burst out of his chest.

He squints a little, although the dim light makes it hard to see clearly, everything feels extremely vivid to him.

She is, at this moment, remarkably beautiful.

Her beauty combines a generous spirit with modesty and gentleness. Cold yet determined. Only upon close reflection can one discover the hidden softness within her.

Her hair falls down her back, reaching her waist. A few damp strands stuck to her cheeks, trailing down her slender, jade-like neck. The water droplets fall from her glowing, moist face, making her countenance even more enchanting.

Perhaps the sound of him opening the door jolted her. She turns around abruptly and locks her eyes with Qin Yi’s luminescent green ones, a touch of panic coloring her features.

"Why did you come in? Get out!"

Fear and anger etch Su Pan’er’s face. This damn Qin Yi, could he be thinking of using that old trick?

"Get out? How could I?"

Qin Yi chuckles and gradually steps closer to her: "I came here to see if you needed hot water because..." He stops mid-sentence as she splashes water at his face, "Indeed, I hadn’t expected to witness the theme of this famous verse first-hand."

Before she knows it, he’s already next to her, reaching out his hand.

Feeling embarrassed, Su Pan’er wishes a hole would open beneath her.

Even though they’ve been honest with each other, she is still not used to the way he looks at her as if he’s a starving wolf. She blushes so much that she resembles a freshly cooked shimp and instinctively hides under the water.

His voice is unusually deep and pleasant, like an excellent wine that intoxicates the heart and soul.

"Ah! You..."

Before she can respond, his broad hand touches her face.

His hand is hot, and as it touches her already flushed cheek, her fair skin blushes rosier. This makes her shiver involuntarily, she instinctively turns her head, attempting to escape his grip.

It feels as if her throat is blocked; she is unable to say anything.

She gazes at the hand that is just inches away from her face.

Qin Yi can’t quite understand his own feelings at this moment. Initially touching her face, his hand at some point moves downwards, following her scattered hair.

He gazes at her astonished face, as she tries to dodge him, which only fuels his urge to conquer her.

He bends down, encircles her waist and moves closer to her.

Su Pan’er screams!

She almost jumps out of the bathtub, then realizes her predicament and sinks back into the hot water.

She quickly quiets her voice and pleads, "Qin Yi, can we not do this here? Let’s go to the bedroom..."

Before she can finish her sentence, his kiss cuts her off, interrupting the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

His kiss lands softly on her cheek, feels like a feather grazing her skin.

She involuntarily flinches,

His hands feel as if they’re on fire, causing her skin to feel ablaze wherever he touches. The burning sensation seems to be spreading out from his touch.

His other hand doesn’t spare her either, causing her to be caught between pain and pleasure.

His kiss slowly moves down to the corner of her mouth, his hot breath encasing her. "What was that? I did not plan anything, it’s all your fault..."

His lips press down once more as Su Pan’er turns her head to the side, avoiding him.

"Qin Yi, you bastard...."

Before she could finish her sentence, his lips are on hers again, silencing her mid-spatially.

Her mind goes blank,

When he finally pulls his lips away, she collapses against him, her body limp.

His mouth moves from hers to her neck.

His steamy breath mingles with the steam from the hot water, making her feel even hotter. "I only wanted to see if you needed more hot water, but then..."
